The Sun HPC Watercooler has pointed us to the keynote presentation video from the Lustre User Group meeting in Sausalito, CA. Peter Bojanic highlights the historical attendance of LUG, several of the major milestones of Lustre over the last year and a short intro into the revised Lustre roadmap. A few notes from 2008:
.: 7 of the top 10 supers in the world utilize Lustre for their high performance file system
.: IO Performance Records from the Cray Jaguar machine: 190 GB/s
.: Lustre 2.0 Alpha Release
Now for a few roadmap updates
.: Q4_2009: Server and client getting restructured for CMD and ZFS. Clustered MetaData early access. MDS Performance enhancements
.: 2010: ZFS Lustre GA. Improved SMP scaling. Clustered MetaData early evaluation with recovery.
.: 2011: Clustered MetaData GA
Sprinkled into the release schedule over 2.X and 3.X are the following snazzy features:
.: HSM/HPSS; HSM/SAM-QFS
.: Windows Native Client
.: pNFS Export Support
It looks like the Lustre development team will be busy over the next two years. Watch the full keynote video here or download Peter’s slide deck here.
